Movies are very expensive endeavors, and my first film was not particularly a money-maker. Quite the opposite.

I am very much a person who appreciates perennial things. Things like a Lacoste shirt, a Clarks desert boot, Persol sunglasses and Vans shoes that have been the same forever. There are certain things that once you find it, you like it and it's done. I like Italian clothing, like suits from Battistoni and I have a shirt by Piero Albertelli.

I would like to do more feature work. I intend to do that. To be really honest, it's an economic thing because when you make a film that doesn't make what it cost back, it's very difficult to get back in the ring.

Relationship movies are often made for a female audience.

Movies are magical. Sometimes it just works, it catalyzes, and everything falls into place, and no one knows exactly how or why.

I grew up in San Francisco and moved to L.A. about 20 years ago, and now my main home is in Hollywood.

Sometimes in writing you have difficult periods and then other times it just flows.
